HELP Catfish rig for river drifting? - deeds - 03-16-2009
Hi everyone looking for some advice. I do alot of catfishing infact I was out on the bank of the bear on Friday only caught a couple little guys 18-20 inchers. Anyways I was wanting to take the duck boat out this year and just drift on down the river dragging some cut bait/ worm but was wondering if anyone has done it and has a rig that works well. I usually fish a carolina rig from the bank but im worried i might be fighting snags the whole time. Thanks in advance

You might try looking up the slinky weights we use fishing for steelhead and salmon in Idaho. The are madde from buckshot inserted into nylon cord. We use this to bouce the bottom drifting bait in very fast moving water. Should be perfect for your application.
